What can you say on cable news?

It's almost enough to make me crawl back into my non-news cocoon. There's a big flap over a guest on MSNBC using the world "blowjob" (about the unlamented ex, Bill Clinton). Apparently "oral sex,"which somehow sounds dirtier to me, is OK, but "blowjob" is beyond the pale? Who decides these things? Well at least it got her 0n twitter and going viral.
